Continental Tire the Americas LLC has added a new valve cap sensor to its lineup of digital commercial tire monitoring products and services.
This sensor works with all of Continental’s digital tire monitoring solutions products, including ContiConnect Live Truck and Trailer, ContiConnect Yard, and ContiPressureCheck.
According to Continental officials, "Installation for the sensor requires minimal downtime on the vehicle, as there is no requirement to dismount and remount tires. This makes it easy to upfit any commercial vehicle and fleet of any size in a short amount of time."
The valve cap sensor has a low battery indication on the ContiConnect platform and has a lifespan of 2.5 years.
"This sensor was developed to provide fleets with a quick solution to begin monitoring their tire’s health. If a tire needs to be replaced on the road, the valve cap sensor also allows fleets to continue monitoring their new tires’ status before installing the tire-mounted sensor again when convenient."
